Something I've been thinking of lately.
When the first steroid scandle hit in the early 90s, a lot changed for the company, and which superstars were pushed.
This was the time when smaller guys were going to the top. While Hart and Michaels would likely have been stars anyway, they do owe a lot to the timing of the trials and McMahon's need to get the spotlight off of the roiders.
So with the current scrutiny placed on the E, who do you think will be promoted?
CM Punk is the obvious first choice here. I mean, he's the Straight Edge superstar, which automatically gives the drug free image.
But aside from that, I was wondering who would be pushed.
Some top chocies would be:
Matt Hardy- I don't know whether he truly is or not, but he has the image of being clean. And as long as that's not proven untrue, then he'll be one to push.
Carlito- Fairly obviously not on roids, could be doing other drugs, but again, as long as people have no proof, he'd be good to promote in the current situation.
London and Kindrick- Youg, clean cut, handsome guys. It makes sense.
Will anything really change? Who knows. Another issue of knowing how things will go would be finding out who was suspeded, so we may have to wait and find out the deal.
But who does everyone else think could benefit from the scandal?

Personally...I think the fans could benefit from the scandal. At least the fans who enjoy seeing the guys who aren't all roided up on the screen.

i think the cruiserweights may get more time on smackdown.
now that rey mysterio is back, he will definately play a large roll on smackdown.

I'd say Daivari... but it's only a matter of time before his name pops up on a list of juicers.

Hopefully Shelton Benjamin because he is in desperate need of a push and since Haas has been suspended, he could go after the IC title. Plus, JR & King are always saying that he's the best pure athlete in the WWE and they need someone like him to show that not all guys need to be on the juice.
I would also like to see Val Venis, Super Crazy, Elijah Burke, Hooliganz and all SD cruiserweights to get a push that they all deserve. All of them are being underused and I believe that they are some of the most underrated guys in the WWE, so it would be nice to see them on TV every week and actually win some matches.

Like Sucka said (no pun intended), the fans will benefit the most here. Not only are we not going to see all the roided up freaks, but it's going to cause a lot of shakeups... including new pushes, new champions and new storylines.

IF edge name is on the list. it would not matter because he has been off TV for a while and still got a few weeks before he can get back in the ring. |

Well now with Punk being champ. I hope Burke and Thorn are first in line for the ECW Championship.
Carlito could be the top heel if they pushed him right. But dont count on it
Hooliganz wont benefit. Cade/Murdoch & Cryme Tyme are still fueding.
Benjamin will hopefully get a push for the IC Gold.
Cena is gonna be champ for longer than we expected. Sucks big time. I was really looking foward to Orton winning the title and giving us a breath of fresh air.
as for Smack Down!
Khali could retain at Unforgiven. He could fued with Taker after Unforgiven for the title. Leading to Taker winning the Title

I want to see MVP, Matt Hardy, Kevin Thorn and CM Punk. I'd say move Punk and Thorn over to RAW or SmackDown!, and Sandman back in ECW and give him the ECW title.
